Not quite what it once was.
The old Boots Dispensing Chemists store on the corner of High Street and Tower Square (formerly Market Plave) in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent.
Boots opened this store, with a slight nod to Georgian style, back in 1896. Like much of the rest of the town it's lost its past splendour.
You can still see where the old sign was attached on the pediment, a similar sign was attached to the right hand pediment and a Boots sign below the clock.
It really was a rather grand looking shop in its day.
This corner plot was occupied by William Hill Bookmakers back in 2014.
Here is a link to a shot of the building back in 1951, a very different era for Tunstall. www.linkedin.com/posts/boots_togetheratboots-archive-brit...
